Harry Redknapp has picked his best 11 performers from the weekend’s action.

The Premier League team of the weekend that has most impressed him.

Included in his top 11 are two stand out players for Newcastle United against Wolves at St James’ Park on Saturday..

Harry Redknapp explaining to BetVictor why he chose  this Newcastle United pair amongst his Premier League team of the week:

Caoimhin Kelleher

Fabian Schar has been such a good servant to Newcastle over the last few years.

You know exactly what you’re getting from this lad, and I thought he was brilliant against Wolves.

Wolves have some good forward players, but they didn’t really get a sniff on Saturday.

Cristian Romero

Calvin Bassey

Harry Wilson

Martin Odegaard

Lewis Cook

Phil Foden

Another young lad having a terrific season is Anthony Gordon.

He caused Nelson Semedo so many problems, and he’s a good right-back.

He’s so quick, so direct and he’s a hard player to stop when he runs at you with such pace. He’s a bit of a throwback player in that sense.

Ollie Watkins

Darwin Nunez
